SUMMARX/DI$CUSSION;
Thc Surplus Property Authority has entered into Development Agreements' with
thc City of Dublin in conjunction with each of the twelve developmants that arc
underway in thc Emerald Park development. A major element of each of those
Development Agreements are the proviaions for the financ'mg and construction
of the needed roadways. Typically, the Authority takes the responsibility for the
funding and construction of thc required roads and the City agrees that the
Authority's costs can be reimb~ through Traffic Impact Fee(TIF) Credits,
earned as a result of building the required roads. In a few cases, such as the
improvements to the adjacent freeway interchanges at Tassajara Rd. and
Hacienda Drive, it is necessmy fftat the design and construction work be done
directly by the City. In those cases, the Development Agreements call for thc
Authority to fund the City's costs and to receive a Traffic Impact Fee Credit.
Thc funding authorization of $1,529,961 asked for at this ~_im¢ is to pay the City
of Dublin its costs to improve thc freeway on ramp at 1-580 and Hacienda Drive
and its costs to review thc plans and inspect thc construction of various other TIF
road improvements being improved by the Authority. All of these funds paid to
thc City will reimbursable to thc Authority through TIP Credits.
